Helmed by chef and founder Taiga Kanekuni, the restaurant exudes opulence and class. With over 20 years of training under his belt in the fine art of Edo-style sushi, Chef Kanekuni worked at omakase restaurants Sushi Ayumu and Sushi Kou before deciding to open his own.
Taiga’s interior is decorated in a contemporary fashion, in primarily dark tones of black and dark grey, giving off a moody ambience. The interior and architecture of Taiga is also inspired by the rocky hills, mountains and meandering rivers of the Kochi Prefecture—home of Taiga’s chef and founder, Chef Taiga Kanekuni.
